Re: [CGUYS] paypal phish
I received an offer from paypal to get a PayPal security key for $5. I have security keys similar to these on my bank and stock accounts. https://www.paypal.com/securitykey I have been spoofed a large number of times by psuedo-PayPal emails, but never had an intruder that was noted. I have had my eBay password blocked on four or five occasions, and had to change it, so I thought the security key to be a good thing, since PayPal=money.

Re: [CGUYS] paypal phish
They paypal security key is part of Verisign's open id program. If any of your other security keys are from Verisign you can use them with paypal and vice versa rather than getting a dozen of the things. The Paypal one is cheap at $5 You can learn more about the program from a Security Now podcast from a month or so back. http://www.twit.tv/sn107 And there is a podcasts on the pitfalls of open id at http://www.twit.tv/sn111.

Re: [CGUYS] paypal phish
The security key creates password numbers using a clock in the key and algorithm that makes random looking non random numbers based on the time. These numbers are unique to your key and your account. Every 30 seconds you have a new one off pass-number that you use in conjunction with a password and your login. Versisign(I think) compares your number with the one it expects you to have based on your assigned key. If anyone steals that number they only have thirty seconds to use it. Pretty darn secure by my standards although people differ. Listen to the podcasts I mentioned earlier for a better explanation.

Each key has an external unique serial number, which you must supply the first time you use the key to sign on. After that, they know from your user id what your fob should be showing. And, they allow for drift in the time-keeping mechanism by keeping the previous and next numbers to be generated available, and matching your entry to them. They can then tell how accurately your fob is keeping time. This was discussed on the Security Now podcast a few weeks back. -- Roger Lovettsville, VA * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
